 My Ginko tree as subject of another Bokeh challenge...the sunlight on the leaves in the morning is incredible in the late summer and fall.

Shot in Raw and opened file in CS2. Adjusted exposure, curves, and saved as Jpeg. Opened in Elements 3.0. Adjusted levels (red,green, and blue individually to get color balance as desired). Adjusted hue saturation on individual channels to increase greens further and reduce stray colors (reds and cyans). Noise Ninja to increase local contrast, smooth background and sharpen slightly. Crop and save for web. USM at small radius, add border, adjusted levels midpoint, save for web.

Score Prediction - 6 to 6.2

You were way low on your prediction. The light, the richness and vibrance of the green - all good here!

Love how the bokeh echoes the subject in both shape and angle. I was one of your 9's.

Peter, this is beautiful! I was one of your 7's, and think I maybe robbed you. Upon closer inspection, I should have given you at least an 8 for this. The lighting is absolutely superb, as are the shapes.
